Hello to everyone reading!
This is my first time posting in a forum. I have to be honest that it is because I am slowly reaching a breaking point and I would love to have some conversation with others who understand. I have scoured forums looking for answers to general questions or seeking stories of others who have experienced similar situations to mine over the last year or so and it has been very difficult to figure things out as everyone has a different experience.
After about 5 months of TTC I started to feel frustrated, helpless and very stressed out. Despite all those negative feelings I got my BFP after 10 months. It was the best feeling in the world. I saw 2 heartbeats and by 12 weeks there wasnt one. I had a D&C at 13 weeks seeking the fastest way to get over it and get back to trying. This was in January. I suspected that I hadnt ovulated since. My doctor confirmed this month that this was the case. I test + OPK for several days, so I basically believe that each month my body gets ready to ovulate. I can feel the cramps and sharp pains in my ovary for several days suggesting that my body is trying, but it is just not meant to be. I get no EWCM, no breast tenderness, and no temp rise, but other than that AF comes at her regular time. I was asked by my doctor if I just wanted to wait and keep testing for ovulation. Is there really a point to that? To me its like asking me if I want to keep testing for something that is not happening and keep contributing to my feeling of helplessness.
I have had a really hard time dealing with my miscarriage these past 5 months because I feel like I havent been allowed to start over yet. Everyone I know who has experienced loss already has children and offer the same words over and over something along the lines of Ive been there, I understand, it will happen one day and you will not want it any other way. I realize all of this. I can tell myself these things, but this does not help the current grief.
Has anyone else simply not ovulated for several months after a loss? Can you give me some ideas as to what helped you get back on track? I eat well, Im at a healthy weight and body fat % for TTC, I exercise, drink very little, no caffeine. I see my doctor next week to discuss a plan of action. I dont know if I will be offered Clomid or progesterone or whatever else there may be. Should I just go see a fertility specialist instead?
Thank you for reading I did not think I would write this much! If you do read this and can offer some friendly advice I would really appreciate it, especially since you are/have experiencing this sadness as well.

I have looked up pcos before and I didn't feel the symptoms matched up for it to be a concern. Do a lot of women have it with ovulation issues as the only noticeable problem? I see my doctor again on Monday, so I will ask about that also. I thought that maybe it took me so long cause I had lost weight the previous year from stress. I worked on gaining it all back when things calmed down and the months before I got pregnant in October I had symptoms that I was ovulating just fine and consistent temp spikes :/ I'm sorry for your loss as well. I hope we can both get our next BFPs soon!
